House Bill No. by Representative Domangue amends the existing law regarding cole Pointe-au-Chien, a public French immersion school located in Terrebonne Parish. The bill specifically changes the grade levels served by the school, increasing the highest grade from four to eight. This adjustment allows the school to accommodate students through the eighth grade, thereby expanding educational opportunities for its attendees.
The legislation reaffirms that cole Pointe-au-Chien operates independently of the state superintendent of education and local education boards, except for its own board of directors. This independence is crucial for maintaining the school's unique educational approach and governance structure. The proposed changes aim to enhance the educational framework of the school while preserving its foundational principles.
